There's been a lot of media coverage given recently to Susan Boyle from Blackburn, West Lothian who apparently wowed the judges on something called Britain's Got Talent. People tell me she has the voice of an angel and although I haven't heard her sing I've no reason to doubt them (or reason to care to be frank...)
However there is a story doing the rounds which may or may not be true that two well dressed fellas were seen wandering around Blackburn before going in to a local pub (what do you call a man in a suit in Blackburn? The accused...) Looking around, they asked the barmaid why the pub was so empty.
When she asked where they were from, they said American television company CBS, wanting to do a piece on Susan.
"CBS?!" the barmaid shrieked, "We thought you were DSS - which is why everyone scarpered when they saw you coming....."

So she is from Blackburn? My sister lives there, I must give her a call. The woman does indeed have a good voice, I saw a YouTube of her sing. The rest of them were overacting mind.
Now that is hilarious. I hope that someone loks after Susan though because she is going to be inundated with media interest. Go look at the vidoe of her - its well worth it. Besides she is one of your own. She can sing...beautifully. By the way I like the new profile pic. You are in a tshirt - clearly you were on holidays then were you??? LOL
